Waterfall

I’ve never questioned God’s plan for me. I didn’t know enough to see
The crooked little path, before me
I kept looking for a stream
A stream of flowing water
Clear enough to see
The rocks that change the course of how the water flows for me
And when I found a way around
I got so confident
I forgot to look down!
Then I came upon a slippery slope, I dropped before I knew
If there even was a rope
To save me...from me
That’s when I knew
The only hope there was
Had to lie in me
When I hit the bottom of the fall
I stood right up
That’s when I saw the rope
It was labeled “ for you all”
So I started a slow climb
With water trickling down my face It was from that stream I saw
What I think was called “ GRACE”
And for some reason I began to feel A confidence I never felt
before
Then I saw another sign
I think it said “ ENDURE”
When I reached the top of the climb I heard voices calling from behind They seemed to be saying “ LET GO OF THE ROPE ”
But they sounded like they had “NO HOPE”
I heard voices calling me by name None like I’ve heard before
Then I found myself upon a lake I could see most every shore
They seemed to be coming
THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR
Then the currents began to rise They startled me
But to my surprise
I remained as calm as can be
I DID NOT LOOK DOWN
IT JUST WASN’T IN ME
I had come so far
I didn’t know if there’d ever be an end And as I began to breath
There came a mighty wind
That’s when I CLOSED MY EYES And I remembered that moment when I hit the bottom of the fall
AND I STOOD BACK UP AGAIN!
And as I began to calm myself The wind ceased to howl and blow I think it chose another route
With no real place to go
Next thing I saw
Was a not-too-distant shore
And vaguely could I see a sign It read “ FEAR NO MORE”
That’s when I realized
The journey I was on
Was for me to understand
That creeks and waterfalls
Were meant to make me stand
There’s not a wind
Whose power I can’t bend
A lesson to us all
“WELCOME THE WATERFALL”
